Yellow bird, yellow moonYou’ve arrived while the spring is out of tuneRiver run, river slowFrom the Grand Coulee Dam to JerichoTo the island where the wounded echoes goOver that horizon, past the streets of EvangelineThere’s a boy among the redwood and the pineJack of Diamonds you’re no friend of mineSeventeen, seven sinsCan we just hide here before the war beginsRiver run, river rageFrom the beak of a yellow bird beside a cageTo a field of broken drums upon a stageOver that horizon, past the streets of EvangelinePast the bedrooms where the wounded girls reclineJack of Diamonds you’re no friend of mineWhere do you go dear? Who do you know dear?Who do you rage for tonight?Who do you lie beside? Who do you sigh beside?Who do you look to for a sign?I’m a boy among the redwood and the pineI hear the sirens out on the county lineJack of Diamonds you’re no friend of mine Aus Songtexte Mania
